I'm more of a B5 S4 guy, but the wife has the C5 A6 which she loves. It has the horrible stock non-sport suspension that provides wayyyyyyyy too much wheel gap. Anyway, I got the sport springs from my friends A6 (he went coilovers) so will it be okay to put these on her stock shocks to lower the car just a bit? Has anyone done this? Changing all 4 upper control arms so this is a good time to put these on if I'm going to. Just don't want it to ride like sh*t. Thanks...

Jeeez, nobody?

 

They should fit just fine. If you are doing the control arms you will find out very quickly if they don't fit, but at least its apart anyway. As far as the ride quality, its a full size luxury saloon, not an s4. I have the sport suspension and it still wallows like a dead hippo on the mountain roads, if you really want to stiffen things up, get stiffer shocks and springs, and most importantly get stiffer roll bars and good control arms.

 

This is the wife's car so not a lot of driving really, I just want to improve the look more than anything. I know the ride will stiffen/handle better some, but just don't want it to ride like crap
